Wayne eventually earned the rank of Sergeant, of an Infantry Squad, 77th Infantry Division, 1st Battalion, 306th Infantry Combat Team. Wayne was a Scout who led advanced patrols into enemy territory. He was wounded by grenade shrapnel and by machine gun fire and was awarded two Purple Hearts with a "V" for Valor, the Combat Infantryman's Badge; two Bronze Stars for combat bravery; the Bronze Arrowhead (for five combat beachhead assaults); Five Campaign Battle Stars and participated in the Occupation of Japan. Wayne was honorably discharged from the Army on December 19, 1945. Through These Portals is the account of one of America's sons whose life was forged in the twin crucibles of the Great Depression and World War II. MacGregor writes candidly about struggles and conditions during the Great Depression and of war in the Pacific. With an amazing sense of immediacy, MacGregor describes savage, face-to-face, small-unit infantry actions in 1944-45 in the Mariana Islands, the Philippines, and Okinawa. This gripping memoir depicts war at its worst and individual soldiers at their best.
